Wendy Diamond, a social entrepreneur, humanitarian, founder of Animal Fair Media and an Ellis Island Honor Society recipient was inspired to launch WED in 2013 after volunteering in Honduras with the Adelante Foundation recognizing the fact that women perform 66% of the world’s work, yet only earn 10% of the world’s income and at the same time. Diamond was inspired to create a simplified movement in the world to empower women in business.
